Antique Enfield, Massachusetts BEFORE Quabbin Reservoir 1885 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Dana, Prescott Greenwich Ware Amherst MA

Beautiful, antique map of Central Massachusetts, before the Quabbin Reservoir was created. This is an authentic 1885 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is an original, extremely rare printing of the very first preliminary sheet of the area.

This special map includes the lost towns of Enfield, Dana, Prescott and Greenwich—before they were lost to the Quabbin Reservoir.

See what Worcester, Franklin & Hampshire Counties looked like over a century ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1885, printed 1885

Dimensions: 17" width x 21" height
